Jordi Evola, 'alias'' monkey ', takes television to the limit. Each edition of his program at The Sixth is a challenge to the flag as a provocation ... even a risk. In his latest adventure-last Sunday-focused 'Saved' on a visit to the Valley of the Fallen, and will cost you a lawsuit. The present Spanish Falange, which also has released a communique threatening tone devoted to the presenter.

In the note, the group warns that last Sunday, "and with the authorization of National Heritage, a television station very close to the government, was made a mockery and derision inside the Valley of the Fallen, ridiculing the buried there and using the blue shirts to make fun of thousands of Spaniards. "

'monkey' was accompanied during his stay in the Valley of the Fallen for a couple of gay actors, fitted with blue shirts, to be kissed and even danced a '', renamed "" in its choreography. Then, Jordi Evola explained, before the grave of Francisco Franco, the state of Spanish society today.

Phalange-sentence in their communique to his next rally for 'The historical memory-': "That permissiveness is not going to go out for free to those who helped and conducted, and the Falangist know very well where and how give battle to them friends of murder and shot in the back. "

The last step of announcing that Phalanx has been presented "a lawsuit." Nacho Casado, spokesman for the group, explains the nuances of the threatening statement: "On where it will be on court, and how will the path ", but left open a window to the subjective versions: "If he interprets it as a threat ...

Shows a representation of Falange: "With the new Law of Historical Memory can not do political advocacy in the Valley of the Fallen. To them I would have stopped and even access to ridicule. It is a church and a holy site. Go with a blue shirt to pay tribute to our founder can not be, but it may take them to ridicule. "

Other editions of 'monkey' has been equally controversial. The case was the most resounding of 'Saved by the Church', which provoked complaints from the Confederation of Associations of Associations of Parents and Family of Andalusia (CONCAPAN) and websites of ultraconservative ideology as' .org '.

Married

added: "Make humor with the dead is most macabre can be done" in reference to the monologue of 'monkey' at the tomb of the dictator: "Paco, I'm going to count how is Spain. You know who is in charge?

Life without Van Nistelrooy

Will do, although not lacking in enthusiasm. Bernd Schuster is surrounded by its enemies, rolled through the results and martyred by bad game of his team. Now, injuries are becoming the new rider of the apocalypse white. And the body asks launched the ring and demand to voice shout at getting what he promised. Four signings to face, eyes and talent. But the German has decided to throw what you have. And will take time to rebel when the knives to settle on his neck.

From time to go spend their injured by nursing, look to one side to another without finding reinforcements, continues to Cristiano Ronaldo on television and he is resigned to criticize those who have given weapons to defend themselves. On the eve of a game against Malaga which may be broken glass if it does not reach a goal in the first half hour, she found a new stab in the stomach. Van Nistelrooy is injured and probably for quite some time. Missing dwarves grow next to the gate 54 of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

The big problem is the absence of top scorer. For the game against a Malaga arriving in one of the best spells in their history in the Primera Division, there are more reasons to complain. Pepe will also be low, the stubborn Robben, De la Red, which is still under observation after syncope suffered in Irun, and, probably, Sergio Ramos, who had a swollen ankle more than a boot. But what the Dutch striker is already thinking about curses. Because it can be low until after Christmas in the worst case. And only then will be available three attackers, Higuan, Raul and Saviola. The latter has to Schuster virtually the same as any player B.

Van Nistelrooy leads

Two weeks with pain in his right knee. On Thursday, doctors said enough and the club decided a global magnetic resonance. The results could not be more devastating because it could have affected the rest of the external meniscus that was operated in 2000. That injury occurred while still playing at PSV Eindhoven and was negotiating his move to Manchester United. Although it was a whole year without playing, Ferguson he had faith. He waited and confirmed its signing months later. He was not wrong to make that decision.

Doctors at the white club have decided to consult the doctor Steadman, who intervened then, before making a decision about your treatment and the possibility of a new step for the operating room.

Probably, Van Nistelrooy is, along with Casillas, the only irreplaceable player the club's target. Soon start to appear pools with the names of the 55 forwards who follows the technical secretariat of the white club for the winter market. It is usual.

Schuster, which already spends to request reinforcements, because he knows he will not do either case, merely commented yesterday that he hoped the men who had their orders. By the way, included in the list to the attacker's subsidiary Alberto Bueno, one of the players with more projection of the factory Valdebebas.

The coach said his team did not feel that crosses a pothole: "We lost to the 'Juve' for a number of details and if we had won, all the press would have said that Madrid had done his best game of the season" .

Schuster idea is to change the system, abandon the idea of the three strikers and reinforcing the midfield with four players to seek a better deal with the soccer ball and a less direct. The idea is that the team is able to bring the initiative and control the game.

Belgian Prime also did not rule out that the issue of NATO membership can be used in the upcoming election in Ukraine campaign.

The Minister explained the position of Brussels on possible Ukraine's membership in the EU: "First of all, I want to say that Ukraine -- European country, as part of the European continent. There is no Clearly, this is - a real European country with European culture. And it is - a fact. On the other hand, one can not say that it - a situation which gives the opportunity to become a full member of EU Five or 10 years. "

Leterme added that Ukraine's cooperation with the European Union should be exercised "new steps". Referring to ongoing negotiations on a new agreement on the association of Ukraine-EU Belgian Prime encouraged "to see where this will lead."

"Ukraine - European country whose future - with Europe. This is as membership in NATO. Over time, Ukraine will become a member of the EU, but now We can not say that this will happen in a given period, "-- he added.

Maniac Josef Fritsl considers itself born rapist and the victim mother

Last Austrian Josef Fritsl maniac, becoming his daughter by a quarter-century of sex slaves, considers himself a victim of mother. He also believes that a child was doomed to become a rapist.

73-year-old civil engineer in the resignation of Josef Fritsl currently in prison in Saint-P?? Lten. The investigation of atrocities already nearing completion, but he is unlikely to appear before the court this year. Meanwhile, the Austrian press trickled out information about the first results of a psychiatric examination , writes newspaper The Times, referring to one of the forensic doctors.

In an interview Wednesday, the first head of forensic psychiatry in Linz Adelhayd Kastner, who participated in the survey Fritslya publish Austrian tabloid Die Kronen Zeitung and Das Ö. A mere medical conclusion is the volume of 130 pages.

As told in interviews with doctors rapist himself, the plan forever sharpened daughter in the dungeon he had matured at a time when he sat in prison for the brutal rape of a young nurse.

"Suddenly I realized that my life pass by - Fritsl. - For a man who was born a rapist, I am too long themselves."

Recall worst in the history of the Austrian Criminal exposed 26 Apr., 2008, when he brought his daughter to the hospital that decade, the number of missing. Soon it became clear that Fritsl held it all the time in the basement of her home in Amshtettene, almost daily subjected to rape. As a result, his daughter Elizabeth, now turned 42, gave birth to seven children, one of whom died shortly after appearing on the light.

Of the surviving three children have never seen white light, after all the early years of his life incarcerated along with his mother.

Only in the process launched an investigation revealed that Fritsl already had a conviction for sexual assault. In 1967 he was sentenced to a half years in prison for raping 24-year-old nurse in her own home. In doing so pervert threatened the victim with a knife.

As explained psychiatrist Adelhayd Kastner, after the release maniac is the surest way for themselves will give their sick fantasies, but remain unpunished. For many decades, the daughter turned it into the most wild abuse, and the Fritsl that led life is good man.

Dr. Kastner heard from her terrible patient, that his attitude towards women was formed mother, who insulted and beat him. In addition, the woman did not give his son to communicate with their peers, and before they start school, he grew up under lock and key.

Maniac believed that he was unloved child in the family. The mother gave birth to it only as an "alibi", so as to prove their sexual partner that she is not barren.

Kastner concluded that Fritsl diligently to distance themselves from personal experiences, including their own. During a rape he never saw the face of the victim. The doctor thinks that through such a schizophrenic perception of reality maniac is not easy to keep it that the double but a triple life. It is simply not aware of the seriousness of committing atrocities.

"Consciousness Fritslya recalls volcano: the surface is not unusual, but inside boils diabolical start - added Kastner. - Literally tearing his passion with which he could not handle."

According to the results of the examination Fritsl all, was recognized as alleged, but doctors said he had serious mental disorders associated with the collapse of the personality and sexual disorders. "One can suppose that in the future Fritsl also remain prone to serious similar crimes" - makes the disappointing conclusion Kastner.

Based on the foregoing, forensic appealed to the court to sentence Joseph Fritslya to forced treatment as a dangerous psychopath.

"The House of horrors" Fritslya

73-year-old electrical engineer retired Joseph Fritslya town of Amstetten arrested April 27, when his daughter was free and talk about terrible crimes of the father.

As it turned out, Fritsl raped his daughter Elizabeth from 11 years of age, more than thirty years. The last 24 years the lives of women held in confinement in the cellar of the house in Amshtettene. In the first nine months of captivity Elizabeth was in a cave in canine collar with leashes, tied to the pipe. In the same basement Fritslyu she gave birth to seven children.

One child, boy, Michael, died in 1996 on the third day after his birth. Investigators believed that the child could have been saved if he was given a qualified medical assistance. Twin brother Michael named Alexander survived. According to Elizabeth, Joseph Fritsl himself cremated his dead grandson in the gas furnace heating.

Three children Elizabeth, now 42, took the maniac education. In doing so, he presented the case as if they drop in youth escaped from the house of her daughter. In fact, Lisa, Monika and Alexander, who is now 16, 14 and 12 years respectively, are simply too loud shouting in the basement. Because of this, their grandfather, the rapist was afraid that his secret will and chose to take in foster children by taking out their place as foster children.

On the contrary, the 19-year-old Kerstin, 18-year-old Stefan and 5-year-old (at the time of release), Felix all his life spent in confinement. In addition, a girl, according to the investigation, has become the sex slave of his grandfather-, who found it a suitable replacement of its aging daughter, Elizabeth.

It is a disease eldest daughter Kerstin played a role in saving the lives of the entire family. When the girl was on the verge of death, Fritslyu had to bring her to the hospital. Doctors asked him to find the mother of the patient to find the cause of the disease. Eventually, the monster turned himself in and brought Elizabeth to the clinic. Immediately thereafter and arrested him.

Later testimony from Elizabeth, it became clear that Fritsl 2-3 times a week, subjected to rape her. Thus, suspect in the three thousands of such crimes. According to his daughter, Fritsl suppressed the slightest resistance to the victims, threatening them in the basement alive.

For surrounding the arrest of Joseph Fritslya became a shock. None of his relatives and friends could not believe that caring for the cover of head of household is hidden inside terrible and sexual . Even his wife, 69-year-old Rosemary, is not suspected of secret passion wife, and after his revelations it had sharply deteriorated health.

However, since the start of the investigation relatives Fritslya away that the family had always behaved as a tyrant.
